Its limitations in the presence of strong reflection azimuth migration can be removed by using a narrow‐azimuth approximation without sacrificing the speed advantage. Narrow‐azimuth migration achieves the same image quality as full DSR or shot‐profile migration. We demonstrate base salt and sub salt imaging improvements with narrow azimuth migration on the SEGEAGE C3 salt model data set.Permalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/1.2370063FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2006ISSN (print):1052-3812 ISSN (online):1949-4645Copyright: 2006 Pages: 3541 publication data© 2006 Copyright © 2006 Society of Exploration GeophysicistsPublisher:Society of Exploration Geophysicists HistoryPublished: 06 Oct 2006 CITATION INFORMATION M.
